"The first release of our law enforcement-specific software was in the 1980s and was called ALERT® and was the foundation of the comprehensive Visual Alert® solution that public safety agencies across Pennsylvania and New Jersey are using today. We are proud to have retained many customers from the early days, as they have been integral in providing feedback to us to help us develop solutions that truly fit their specific needs. Our 30th anniversary is a significant milestone and we look forward to continuing to develop software solutions that enable law enforcement agencies to better serve their communities."
